Forensic odontology plays an essential part in recognizing the bodies of victims in mass casualties, crime scenes and terrorist attacks. Bite marks are a significant substitute in crime investigation, when routine means of identification cannot be performed owing to distortion of facial structures and fingerprints. Forensic odontologists are associated with the analysis of bite marks and presentation of the evidence in the court. Bite mark identification is based on the exclusivity and singularity of individual dentition. This article reviews the importance of bite marks analysis, methods of identification and recovery of bite mark evidence and its role in forensic investigation.
